The Corps Rhenania Tübingen is a student association in the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV), which consists of students and alumni of the Eberhard-Karls-University.

Color and motto

Corp house

The Tübingen (Tübser) Rhenanen wear a light blue-white-red ribbon with silver percussion . A light blue student cap is also worn. The fox band is blue-red with silver percussion. The blue of the Rhenania Tübingen is light in the ribbons, a little darker in the cloth of the hat and Kneipack.

The motto is Omnes pro uno et unus pro omnibus! ( German  “All for one and one for all” ) and Concordia firmat fortes! ( “Unity strengthens strengths” ). The corps has always stood by color and scale .

Influenced by the Enlightenment and further developed by German idealism , the goals of the corps are anchored in the first constitution :

According to our principles, it must be a duty for every fraternity to educate himself more morally and scientifically, to show himself worthy of the connection through a characterful behavior and to do for it in general, what internally and externally for her stability and for their continued existence is possible, and to raise the splendor and the meaning of the connection according to his strength. Mutual respect and love, courtesy towards non-members will increase the confidence of the members among themselves and others to connect. "

- Introduction of Rhenania's Constitution

“Coats of arms and colors identify the Corps Rhenania as a Württemberg-Swabian corps; In the Constitution, the spiritual ideas of the Tübingen Swabian-Allanian Corps (Landsmannschaften), which were dissolved in 1826, live on from the early days of the Tübingen SC from 1808. The Corps Rhenania is the Swabian state corps at the University of Tübingen. "

history

Rhenania's founder (1847)

The Corps Rhenania was secretly donated in the time of the demagogue persecution with a ban on student connections on July 7, 1827 in the venerable “Haagei” pub opposite the collegiate church (Tübingen), sung about by Wilhelm Hauff and Theodor Griesinger . The founders were the former Allemanne Friedrich Widmann with five other Tübingen students, including another former Alemannen and a former Freiburg Rhenanen . The first Constitution has come down to us in a version from 1834. Their goals correspond to those of the Tübingen mother corps of the Rhenania: the Allemannia I [1825–1827] (taken literally from Widmann) and the Suevia II [1813–1826] (in terms of content), which emerged from the Obersuevia, founded on March 17, 1808. This in turn emerged from Suevia I, donated on January 7, 1807; it named itself after the foundation of Obersuevia to differentiate Niedersuevia. The Tübingen Rhenane Kaufmann donated the Suevia III on December 1, 1829 to strengthen the influence of students in the corps; it existed until July 3, 1830. Rhenania still wears red student hats on a silhouette and on a paucity picture from 1839, in contrast to Suevia IV, which was founded in 1831 through the conversion of the Commentary Association, which wears black hats. The Tübinger SC joined the KSCV in 1857.

Between the wars and the Nazi era

After the Corps had survived the First World War with the loss of many Corps brothers (60 of 293 military personnel died), the members reacted to the attempts at harmonization from 1933/34 with the temporary suspension of active operations on October 10, 1935. The Corps had to join the NS -Time only outwardly separated from two Corps brothers from 1934 to 1936.

The active corps lived from the winter semester 1937 to the winter semester 1944/45 in the SC comradeship "Theodor Körner" founded by Franconia and later extended to the earlier Corps Suevia and Rhenania at the Frankenhaus . The old rulers consisted of 280 francs, 299 Rhenans and 220 Swabians and most recently had a total of 97 active comradeship members. A ribbon in the colors green-blue-red has been preserved. When the Tübingen NSDAP considered taking over the Rhenanenhaus as a company building in May 1939, the Rhenania old gentlemen's association pushed for the formation of its own comradeship, which was named Friedrich Schiller and was formally approved by letter of August 28, 1939. However, the outbreak of war prevented the establishment of an active comradeship, which was initially postponed until the end of the war. On March 31, 1943, the old rulers of Friedrich Schiller's comradeship were also recognized by the Reich student leadership. There was no longer any formation of an active company.

post war period

On May 3, 1949, Rhenania was the first Tübingen Corps to be reconstituted in a meadow on Österberg. The corp house was confiscated by the French occupying forces from 1945 to 1956 . It was initially used as the seat of the French governor, who later became the provincial commissioner, and from mid / late 1952 as a maison de France and guest house / officers' mess for the French garrison. That is why the corps boys met in Tübingen pubs, from the summer semester 1953 in a purpose-built barracks in the city.

In January 1950, Rhenania Tübingen was one of the 22 corps that joined forces in the interest group and prepared the reconstitution of the KSCV. In 1959, Rhenania was the presiding suburb corps .

Corp house

Rhenanenhaus ( Emil Klein , 1892)

The first corporation house to be architecturally built as such in Germany was the Corps Rhenania Tübingen house, which was completed in 1886. Since the winter semester of 1882/83, plans and the purchase of land have been carried out by the active members of the Corps under the leadership of Karl Hermann Siegeneger , who reciprocated in 1880 , whose ashes are buried on the western front of the house. So far, connections and the Corps Rhenania had come together in restaurants and were therefore subject to the landlords' discretion. In this respect, the spatial emancipation is a novelty. The Stuttgart government master builder Adolf Katz was commissioned with the planning and construction management of the house . The Rhenanenhaus is located in the countryside above the city of Tübingen on the Österberg in today's Stauffenbergstrasse . The first part of the house was built in 1886 for the Tübingen Rhenanen and was expanded in 1893 and 1912, which took account of the increasing number of members. These last construction phases determine the face of the corp house to this day.

External relations

At the instigation of Ernst von Richter , Rhenania Tübingen came into the blue circle in 1880/81 . With Rhenania Freiburg , Teutonia Marburg and Rheno-Guestphalia it forms the so-called iron cartel . It was formerly known as the "coal cartel"; because many members of the "Rhenania Dortmund" came from the Ruhr area and aspired to the mining industry . In Tübingen they studied mineralogy , geology , physics and chemistry . As inactive , they switched to the mining academies and technical universities to study mining sciences. The Clausthal mining academy was preferred . Today the Corps has eight such old men .
